In Reply to: [gentoo-user] Problems starting X by Johannes Skov Frandsen
1 Hi, a few months ago I had the same problem, then :
2
3 emerge xf86-input-mouse
4 xf86-video-fbdev
5 xf86-video-vga [1]
6 xf86-video-vesa [1]
7 xf86-input-keyboard
8
9 Note: Only if you want because when you install the ati driver you don't
10 need neather of them.
11
12 By other side and very important (my recomendation), download ati
13 8.36driver and install it, reconfigure your
14 xorg.conf doing this
15 aticonfig --initial. It's a good idea you do a backup of your xorg.conf.
16
17 Please try that thing and please give us feedback :D
18
19 I hope be helpfully for you have a nice day :D
